iOS 9 Release for iPhone & iPad: 10 Things You Can Count On

Limited iOS 9 Release

You can count on a limited iOS 9 release for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Don't expect Apple's update to land for everyone.

If you aren't currently running iOS 8, there's no chance that you're going to magically get bumped up to iOS 9. We're looking directly at iPhone 4 users and owners of the original iPad. You're going to remain on iOS 7 forever.

iPad 2 and iPhone 4s users should not count on an iOS 9 release. The iPad 2 defied the odds when it received iOS 8, its fourth update, and it would be shocking to see Apple offer a fifth update to iPad 2 users. (We hope it does.)

Apple tends to keep its iPhone models updated for three years before kicking them to the curb. iOS 8 represented the third iOS update for the iPhone 4s so the device is walking on thin ice.

Blah blah blah!! I’m done with apple after iOS 8 seems like every year it gets worse and more glitchy and the I watch who cares?? I’m going android os more you can do and os don’t tell you what you can or can’t do with your device but apples craftsmanship is great but hardware stinks since Steve jobs we sadly lost Tim Cook you need to step to the plate and hit a grandslam for me to go back to apple, just sold my last iPhone on eBay and never again!!

i would take an iOS beta version over any android os any day. The only thing that limits android are the retards that use them. Lol. I remember when phones made calls and text. Those services are not even working properly anymore. Now all we can do is wait for the newest bugs… I mean features to be added.
